Wikipedia article puts the pricing in Japan between 18 to 36 USD per night. That's a range between 540 to 1080 USD per month. That makes San Francisco pricing average.

You can't really compare a per night pricing to a per month pricing. Per month is always cheaper that per night but you loose the flexibility.

Anyway the price difference makes sense because SF housing is more expensive than Tokyo.
